Romania celebrates May Day

Ricardo Villalobos, Sven Väth, Richie Hawtin and Luciano are among those journeying to coastal resort of Mamaia this year.

Romanian promoters Sunwaves, The Mission and La Mania have all announced their lineups for this year's May Day celebrations.

As testament to the growing popularity of Romania's Black Sea coast as an international clubbing destination, the list of artists appearing across the four-day May Day celebrations reads like an almost comprehensive round-up of the scene's biggest names. The coastal resort of Mamaia, and more specifically its Nord Beach, is where the thousands flock to each May 1st; this year those in attendance will be presented with the widest selection of events and artists in the gathering's history.

Mamia venue La Mania will be providing yet more options for those in town, with their club/beach offering over three consecutive days and nights. Lee Foss and Mike Huckaby will both be appearing at a warm-up party on Thursday 28th April; the next night Sasha, Danny Howells and Nima Gorji man the decks in the club's main room, with all four members of Visionquest—Seth Troxler, Shaun Reeves, Lee Curtiss, Ryan Crosson—taking care of the terrace; and closing out the main room on Saturday April 30th is Luciano alongside Reboot, Marc Antona and Maayan Nidam, with DJ Sneak on the terrace's decks. All dates at La Mania will be followed by an afterparty on the beach featuring artists from the previous night's party.
